Staying in Nicosia

Nicosia is the capital of Cyprus and its old town is a compact, walkable grid of streets inside the Venetian walls, with the city spreading out to modern districts beyond. The hotels on this shortlist sit in several parts of it: Kanari 3, Omirou 3, Konstantinou Palaiologou 23, Pringipos Karolou Street, Petraki Yiallourou 10, Katsoni, Sina 18, Sofouli Street 2, Pasikratous Street at Eleftherias Square, Vasileiou Voulgaroktonou 16A, Onasagorou Street and Philellinon Street all fall within the city, while Alkaiou Street is in Egkomi and the G.S.P. Stadium address stands outside the centre.

The mix suits different trips. Couples and short-break visitors are drawn to the boutique addresses and suite-style stays, families to the apartments and rooms with cots and babysitting, and business travellers to the hotels with business centres, conference rooms and 24-hour front desks. Ratings run from 3.7 to 5.0 out of 5 across 1 to 807 reviews, so the choice is less about stars, which are 3 across the board, and more about location, facilities and how recent the feedback is.
